Imposter Pete was Unprepared for the Almost Human Nightmare Cuckoo Clock. The Walrus and Eggmen were the Height of Envy at the Monkey Bar. See the DJ spinning records on a Flora Phonograph while simultaneously playing Rock, Paper, Scissorhold.

Actually this doesn't really make much sense. The Copacabana is a beach in Brazil, and the chupacabra is a Mexican folklore creature. Though I suppose a cabana could could be used in mexico, and this might not be a reference to the copacabana. I'm still, however not sold.

Well then consider the word "cabana" itself. Courtesy of wikipedia: "A cabana or cabaña is a structure of either of these types: an 'indigenous hut' or a 'recreational structure'."

It is likely that the word "Copacabana" is a combination word from a root language which various Spanish and Portuguese languages share.

"Cocína de la Chupa" may be slightly more grammatically correct en español, but as is it implies a taco shack which still makes sense.

Plus it's great wordplay in its reference to the legendary Chupacabra.

Not a shirt I'd wear, and I'd probably have to explain it to my husband a couple times before he got it, but an excellent design and great EC! Congrats Bass!

Was this from the "Stupid Tshirts Nobody Will Buy" Derby? Seriously, I used to love shirt.woot. Then they lied and said they needed to make up "costs" and jacked up the price. Then they went to shirts that don't fit as well. This is what happens when a major corporation buys a company and starts messing it up. flunk you Amazon. Stick to your own site.

This is not the most obscure reference to ever hit Woot. You know, it's nice to see something that will only appeal to a subset of the populace. Hell, it's just nice to see something that isn't Star Wars or Nintendo or... yeah, you get the picture.

I grew up in Texas, so I get it. And if the only people who DO get it have to be those who pay attention to lore from one of our closest neighbours, then so be it.

Buying it, wearing it, and if people don't get it, guess how many rat's behinds I give. :P
